FIL: Isang kompuwestong kemikal (CaC₂) na karaniwang ginagamit upang pabilisin ang paghinog ng mga prutas tulad ng saging at mangga.
EN: calcium carbide
The magic powder your suking fruit vendor uses to make green mangoes turn yellow overnight. It's basically a fruit time-machine. You know the mangoes were ripened with kalburo when they're sweet on the outside but still sour near the seed. The life hack (or cheat code) of the fruit world.
From Spanish 'carburo' (carbide).
Primarily associated with the artificial ripening of fruits. It releases acetylene gas when exposed to moisture, which acts as a ripening agent.

🇵🇭 Mas masarap ang prutas na natural ang pagkahinog at hindi minadali sa kalburo.
🇺🇸 Fruits that ripen naturally are more delicious than those rushed with calcium carbide.
